Taylor Swift Released a Sneak Peak of Re-Recorded ‘Love Story’
Hearing old songs, but in a different version is something new and refreshing. Taylor Swift, who is in the process of re-recording her first six albums teases her fans with a snippet of her new recorded music in a commercial for the dating site Match.
The commercial featuring Ryan Reynolds as Satan and a woman named 2020, gave Swift’s fans a listen to her new version of her hit song “Love Story”. Her hit song, “Love Story” was originally featured on her 2008 album Fearless. She tweeted including Reynold’s video of the ad, “Okay so while my new re-records are NOT done, my friend @VancityReynolds asked me if he could use a snippet of one for a LOLsome commercial he wrote so…here’s a sneak peek of ‘Love Story’!”

The commercial was cute in a humorous way because it showed how dating in 2020 was like due to the pandemic. It gave the audience hope that maybe 2021 won’t be bad as 2020. It showed a match made in hell with Satan and the year 2020. Swift’s song was the perfect fit for the commercial because it showed a love story.
The reason Taylor Swift is re-recording her first six albums is that she has been in battle with her former label Big Machine Label Group. Big Machine Label Group sold her records to manager Scooter Braun’s media holding company, Ithica Holdings. Last month, Taylor Swift found out Braun sold her songs from her first six albums to an investment company, Shamrock Holdings worth $300 million.
Her re-recording songs is the best idea for her to do. It is a brand new start for her and her fans. According to Variety, Swift re-recordings will slightly be different. “Swift really means it when she’s said she wants to steer attention away from the Big Machine versions of her first six albums by giving fans an alternative that serves exactly the same needs — or, just as importantly, gives advertisers and music supervisors that alternative”.
